An Lan was talking to a man, both seeming to enjoy their conversation immensely. Liu Nuanxi and Zhang Ya exchanged looks and silently reached an agreement before quietly standing aside.
After the art exhibition ended, An Lan thought she wouldn't see Robert again since he once mentioned he was just passing through and would leave the small town soon. Yet, over the following days, she frequently encountered Robert at the locations where she set up her easel, all by supposed coincidence.
Robert would often quietly keep her company, and when she paused her painting, he wouldn't skimp on his praises. Sometimes, An Lan would even hear a few awkward phrases in Z Country's language, which often amused her to no end.
Zhang Ya and Liu Nuanxi found themselves seeing Robert more and more often, too.
Robert's fondness for An Lan was clear for anyone to see.
